That's what the condition and situation going around IH is all about currently. People coming down with flu, cough, runny noses, and bouts of fever. I hope I'm not the next one to fall ill and have to spend two weeks recuperating from the infectious return of the IH virus.
Been another long blank space from the last update since. Not much has happened unless you count being laden with future assignments, presentations and mid-semester tests burdened on your calendar for the next two months as something. In addition to the upcoming IH National Night with Jamaica being the theme then, the IH Play, and several other events being held in future which should be fun to go along and or just enjoy from the stands.
A crucial and main part of the past week was spent planning for the future. Yeah. Career and job searching perseverence, bulking up your resume, and prospect seeking fresh graduates of the future. Apparently it's best to start applying for internship back home as it will give you a head start in the working world when you graduate as you can boast about your getting to intern for two months at most at some big-ass corporation where you get to learn the ropes and do some PPF (printing, photocopying and filing) at the same time while coworkers encourage the little flame of inexperienced strength and courage in you. I just never thought that I'd have to do this so soon. Plus I don't even have any solid working experience to account for in my resume. The visa working permit better go well come Monday as I'm planning on visiting the DIMA office in the city to get my new visa label that'll enable me to work for a maximum of 20 hours a week during semester and unlimited hours during the holidays. I just hope finding a job would be just as easy. I don't really mind getting causal or part-time work anywhere just as long as it's withing walking distance at the very least so that I don't have to splurge on tram costs. All this talk about work jargon has had my head spinning for a bit. Unwinding with a couple of guy friends for the last few days whom I hardly spent time with last semester was good and fun. It actually helped keep my mind off things for a bit while letting me focus on some other important matters. It's like a whole new perspective has opened up to me. It's really odd being around this many guys yet not developing any intimate feelings for them but only in a very platonic way. Refreshingly weird this is. Though the guys whom I really want to talk to always seem to be with other groups of people or I just can't seem get close enough to without a little bit of alcohol involved. Okay, when things seem to can't get better without alcohol, you know you've reached the end of the road.
Turn back now!
Right. Anyway, overall I just really want and desperately need to improve a lot more on this second semester subjects. I'm currently enjoying my Organisational Behaviour lectures and classes while Corporate Law is quite interesting as well. I think generally American lecturers tend to relate better with us weary-eyed and cynical undergrads or maybe it's just these two lecturers of mine that are like that. In any case they're good and I'm just happy that I can actually stay awake fo the duration of the lectures despite them being either held in the late afternoon or in the morning and being two hours long.
Another thing that's been harping on for a while now is the status of my residential address in Australia next year. Am I or am I not going to remain staying in IH? Am I moving out on my own or with my brother or with a friend or two? Is there a chance for me to actually move into the Avenue Apartments in IH next year where it's slightly cheaper? So many unanswered questions bothering me at this time. Everything is circumstantial. Only time and situational decisions will tell I suppose.
On a final note, home cooked vegetable curry is good, just not any IH curry. Five days a week classes is just no fun.
